InventryBookKhatabook vs Vyapar vs myBillBook vs InventryBook: an honest comparison
InventryBook team ·
The short answer
All four let a small shop keep customer credit (udhaar), make bills and track stock on a phone. They differ in what they focus on and how they charge. Khatabook started as a free credit book. Vyapar and myBillBook are billing and accounting apps with desktop versions. InventryBook is set up differently for each kind of shop: a medical store, a restaurant, a tent house and a kirana each get their own screens.
We make InventryBook, so read this with that in mind. Every fact about another app below is taken from that company's own website or app listing on 12 November 2026, linked in the sources at the end. Where their page did not say, we say "not stated" rather than guess. Prices change often: check them before you decide.

Where each one is strong
Khatabook is the best known credit book in India, and its own site says over 5 crore businesses use its free apps. If your main need is to record who owes you and send reminders, it costs nothing to start. Its app listing also offers GST bills, stock with low-stock alerts, payment collection by QR, and business loans.
Vyapar has a desktop app alongside mobile, and its yearly plans include e-way bills (10 a month on Silver, unlimited on Gold), Tally export, several companies in one account, and an accounting module. If you bill from a computer and send goods often, its Silver plan includes e-way bills at a lower price than ours.
myBillBook has a low entry price (Plus, ₹3,490 a year) on phone and web, a desktop app from its Pro plan, and e-way bills with e-invoicing on Pro Max. It offers a 7-day money-back guarantee.
InventryBook is built around the kind of shop:
- Medical store: batch and expiry on every line, expiring-soon alerts, and returns to the distributor by batch.
- Mobile and electronics: every phone tracked by IMEI or serial, with warranty on the bill.
- Restaurant: tables, kitchen tickets, a kitchen screen and QR ordering on Dine-in plans, plus recipes that use up raw material as you bill.
- Dress rental and tent house: bookings by date, one-of-a-kind pieces never booked twice, deposits, and items in repair.
- Water jars and milk: delivery rounds and returnable jars; milk bought from farmers by fat and SNF.
- Any shop: photograph a supplier's bill and check the lines instead of typing them (from the Pro plan), cash, UPI and udhaar on one bill, and staff logins with limits on prices and discounts.
When another app may suit you better
- You only want a credit book, free: Khatabook.
- You work mostly on a computer and want a desktop app or Tally export: Vyapar or myBillBook say they offer both.
- You need e-way bills on a small budget: Vyapar's Silver plan includes 10 a month; on InventryBook they come with the Business plan.
How to choose
- Write down the three things your shop does every day that a register or calculator does badly: udhaar, expiry, bookings, stock counts.
- Try two apps on those three things for a week, with your real bills.
- Check the price of the plan you would actually need after the trial, with GST.
- Ask whether your helpers can use it in their language.
